Author sounds like "herman" writes about espionage??

[fannybaws]

Could I have your help please?
My uncle is very unwell in hospital and has asked me to send him some books, he has read this author before but can't remember the correct name, any ideas??

apparantly the book he read had Freedom in the title??

You could try this website.

Harlen Coben? Can't do links, but he writes good mystery type stuff, not strictly espionage, but sort of thing he might have read and liked.

The Freedom Trap- Desmond Bagley?
